Dear Mayor or Supervisor,
As participants in the Greater Tompkins Municipal Health Insurance Consortium (Consortium),
we are bound by the Municipal Cooperative Agreement (MCA) which was accepted and signed
by your municipality. Section Q.2. of the MCA requires the Consortium participants to review
and amended the MCA as necessary before the anniversary of the fifth year, which is on or about
October 1, 2015.
Pursuant to the MCA, the Consortium asked each participant to review the existing MCA and
send comments. The Consortium also received comments from the NYS Department of
Financial Services. A special committee of the Consortium Board of Directors incorporated
these suggestions as well as reviewed the MCA from an operations perspective and developed
the attached MCA (both clean copy and changes noted documents).
The Consortium Board of Directors has approved the amended MCA and is recommending that
each participant adopt resolutions authorizing their Supervisor or Mayor to sign the amended
MCA. Upon receipt of all of the municipal authorization resolutions, a signature page will be
made available for signatures.
Please perform the due diligence your municipality requires. Report any issues that prevent your
municipality from signing as soon as possible. Please consider setting a goal of approval during
your August 2015 meetings.
Sincerely,
Don Barber, Executive Director
Greater Tompkins County Municipal Health Insurance Consortium
